If you think your rights are being denied in the US take a look at what is going on north of the border...the discrimination against the english has been going on for a few decades but the federal goverment does nothing to stop it...

Quebec law appealed

OTTAWA -- The Supreme Court of Canada announced yesterday it will hear an appeal of the Quebec language law that limits who can attend English-language schools in the province.

The Quebec government is seeking to appeal a ruling by the provincial Court of Appeal, which struck down Law 104 last summer saying it violated the federal Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

The law's aim was to plug a loophole in the Charter of the French Language that allowed students who had one year of private English schooling to continue their education in English.

I lived in Montreal when the language laws were first imposed and witnessed the language police entering stores and placing black tape over all the english signs....the federal gov did nothing..
